Question Engines Running

Ok, you've loaded up all the passengers and baggage, and been pushed back. You then start both engines and are about to ask for taxi clearance when someone comes back and states that you have to get 1 person's bags off.

This was the scenario on Airport last night and it got me thinking...

When are you allowed to have 1 or both engines running, for instance when passengers are embarking / disembarking, when the food and water is being put on, or when baggage is being loaded / unloaded...

Who would contact the pilots about this?

I would be interested to hear the rules and your thoughts!

Happy Landings,
